High Risk by Vivian Arend

High Risk by Vivian Arend

by Elyse | May 07 | Tuesday | 7 Comments

High Risk by Vivian Arend is a romance that defies sub-genre. It’s like I’m trying to categorize it and the book is standing up yelling, “I’mma do what I want!” I found it while looking for romantic suspense, but it’s not that. It’s sort of erotic-contemporary-action romance with bondage and… read more »

While I was at RT, news broke that Tools of Change in Publishing is no more. Brian O'Leary, whom I met at ToC (and who, like many people in publishing, is my neighbor in Jersey), has a sharp post about the closing of ToC, and what it means for the… read more »

by SB Sarah | May 06 | Monday | 5 Comments

 After attending the session with Julie Garwood and Jude Deveraux last week, my inner 13 year old is itching to re-read many of their books, so in addition to the paper copies I have (some in pieces), I wanted to see if there were any on digital discount. Hooray! Rebellious… read more »

Iron Man 3

Iron Man 3: A Review and Romance Analysis by Carrie S

by CarrieS | May 06 | Monday | 34 Comments

I haven't been reviewing any Marvel movies because generally they aren't very romance-y.  Certainly they can't wrap everything up into a nice HEA, because then there would be no franchise.  But Iron Man 3 intrigued me because it seemed to promise a lot of Tony Stark/Pepper Potts stuff, so I… read more »

Self Publishing and Restarting a Series: A Q&A with Delilah Marvelle

Self Publishing and Restarting a Series: A Q&A with Delilah Marvelle

by SB Sarah | May 04 | Saturday | 12 Comments

In 2009, Delilah Marvelle won the author interview I donated to the Brenda Novak auction, and in that interview, we talked about marketing, and about her School of Gallantry series that she wanted to finish. At that time, she said of RT that it was one of the most effective… read more »

Today at RT, I attended a candid Q&A with Julie Garwood and Jude Deveraux. On the outside, I looked like my normal self. I'd had coffee, I was dressed, my shoes matched, and I was fully charged and ready to tweet.  But y'all, these are two of the first authors… read more »

Last night, news broke on Twitter that Rhode Island's house of representatives had approved a bill in favor of gay marriage, and sent that bill to the governor for signature. Governor Lincoln Chafee signed the bill into law hours later. Yay Rhode Island! High fives!  Jocelyn emailed me the following two… read more »

One thing I love to do is a giveaway for the swag bag at RT. Each attendee receives a conference bag stuffed with promotional items, plus a choice of some books from the goody room. I have the bag, some books, plus an extra treat. Here's a picture of the… read more »

EL James at Romantic Times: What Happened vs The Reactions

by SB Sarah | May 02 | Thursday | 50 Comments

Twitter was afire yesterday with news that EL James stood up during a YA panel and….said something. Accounts varied as to what was said - can you believe that? Inconsistent reports on the INTERNETS?  I went out and spoke with some RT staffers, and some folks who were present at… read more »
